Chapter 82 – Huanggang Village


“Who was that person pointing a gun at me just now?”

Yang Jian was lying on the bed as usual, and Jiang Yan seemed less afraid. She was wearing a nightgown and curled up next to him, still a little shaken.

“He’s a newly assigned international criminal police officer responsible for maintaining public security in Dachang City and dealing with supernatural events. It has nothing to do with you,” Yang Jian said.

Jiang Yan asked, “How does it have nothing to do with me? He almost shot me just now.”

At this point, her emotions were a little agitated.

“He wouldn’t dare to shoot. It was just an act for me. From the moment he entered to the moment he left, this person couldn’t have not known that someone was taking a shower in the bathroom. Pointing a gun at your head wasn’t a threat to you, but a threat to me… This person is difficult to deal with and will be my enemy in the future,” Yang Jian said.

Jiang Yan was a little scared and asked, “Is it dangerous here? Should we consider moving out?”

“Where can we move to? The entire Dachang City is under the jurisdiction of Zhao Kaiming. Unless you move to another city, you can leave if you want, but I won’t,” Yang Jian said seriously. “Just because of his greeting today, I will find a way to kill this guy and take over his position. But I have to mention…”

He didn’t continue speaking.

The prerequisite for becoming an international criminal police officer is to find a way to delay the revival of evil spirits, otherwise joining the international criminal police in his current state would be suicide. Yang Jian remembered clearly how Zhou Zheng died.

“Are you going to be okay?” Jiang Yan asked.

“I’m not sure,” Yang Jian said. “It’s late. I’m going to sleep. You’d better stay away from me.”

“Okay.”

The brief conversation ended.

The next day at noon, Yang Jian received a delivery of the things he had bought online.

As he loaded bullets into his gun, he frowned at the sheepskin paper spread out on the table.

“I’m going to Huanggang Village tomorrow. Zhao Kaiming’s appearance has cast a shadow over my heart. It seems dangerous there.”

“But the hope of staying alive makes me take a gamble. I can only take a risk to complete the transaction with Sun Lihong. But another idea appeared in my mind.”

“Should I trust people… or should I trust this piece of paper that directed me to escape from school?”

After hesitating for a while, he decided to use the headless ghost sealed in the golden box and this piece of paper to complete the transaction… If the transaction was completed in this way, he could get a way to stay alive.

That was the method to control the second ghost and delay the revival of the evil spirits.

Yang Jian looked at the writing on the paper and sneered, “I can only use you as a last resort. Right now, I won’t even believe a punctuation mark on you.”

He wanted to see if there was any reminder or warning on this piece of paper, but he was disappointed.

This thing stubbornly performed its duty as a notebook.After loading the bullets, Yang Jian folded the human skin paper and put it in his pocket. As he was putting it away, a line of words appeared on the paper: “The transaction has failed again…”

Yang Jian tested the gun in his hand. He had spent three million yuan on thirty bullets, with each clip holding ten bullets. It cost him one hundred thousand yuan per shot. The thought made him cringe.

“This thing is more useful for intimidation than actual use,” he thought to himself.

Three days later, early in the morning, Yang Jian drove his Mercedes-Benz, which he had earned from Master Luo, on a deserted road. His phone’s GPS directed him to Huanggang Village. He had researched the village online and found out that it had a bit of history, dating back to the previous dynasty. It was even used as a tourist attraction but failed due to various reasons such as transportation and economics.

As for the paranormal events there, Yang Jian had not found any information on them. There might be records, but he could not access them. However, he did not think that records would be of much use since no one had solved the paranormal events. Therefore, useful information would be scarce.

“When I arrive, I will stop at the entrance of the village. You can drive back by yourself. Unless I call you to come and pick me up, don’t call me. I don’t want to be disturbed by a phone call when I’m solving a paranormal event,” Yang Jian said coldly while driving.

“Don’t worry, I won’t,” Jiang Yan replied.

“That’s good.”

The two of them remained silent for a while in the car. As the car turned from the main road into a small path, they drove for more than ten minutes until a somewhat remote village appeared at the foot of a distant mountain.

Checking his phone’s GPS, Yang Jian confirmed that it was Huanggang Village.

At the entrance of the village, Yang Jian stepped on the brake and stopped the car. He did not turn off the engine but instead threw the car keys to Jiang Yan.

“If I don’t come back within a month, I’m definitely dead. You can keep this car and leave after I take some things from the trunk. Don’t come back here out of curiosity. I don’t know what will happen here later, but in any case, stay away from this place,” he said before getting out of the car.

In fact, there was not much in the trunk, just a specially made corpse bag that weighed several tens of kilograms, some emergency food, and a few pieces of clean clothes. He was here to do business, not to travel.

Suddenly, the sound of sports cars revving up came from behind him. Five luxury cars were driving towards them on the small path from a distance.

In general, this situation was rare on such a remote road.

“Yang Jian, I thought you wouldn’t dare to come alone. I didn’t expect you to come alone to solve this paranormal event,” a voice said.A sports car stopped and the window rolled down. Ye Jun, who had made a mistake earlier, looked at him with a bit of coldness and hostility.

“I don’t want to talk to someone with no brains.” Yang Jian glanced and knew that the several ghost tamers from Xiaoqiang Club were also here.

They must have been keeping an eye on his car on the way, otherwise they wouldn’t have followed so quickly.

“What did you say? I haven’t settled accounts with you for last time. Do you think the matter will end like this?” Ye Jun had the urge to get out of the car and hit someone.

Yang Jian said, “What’s the point of holding onto things when you’re almost dead? Wang Xiaoqiang didn’t say that Jiang Yandao has grievances and grudges, and that one smile can settle debts? You’re an adult, you need to think with your brain, don’t be impulsive. So what if he shot you a few times and blew your head open? This person is wandering in the world, who hasn’t been shot before? At most, he’ll pay for your medical expenses when he returns.”

Ye Jun’s face looked particularly ugly. Just as he was about to get angry, Zhang Han behind him opened the car door and said, “Ye Jun, are you coming or not? Why are you stopping in the middle of the road? Let’s go into the village first, and we’ll talk later if there’s anything.”

“Yang Jian, you don’t need to be so arrogant. After this supernatural event is resolved, the members of our club will complete the transaction for you, and we will never tell you how to survive.”

Ye Jun sneered, “To be honest, I still have to thank you. Without you, we wouldn’t have known about this important information.”

“Maybe the president of the club, Wang Xiaoqiang, already knew about it, but just didn’t tell you. How could a club president not know any news? Don’t let others sell you out and count the money for them.” Yang Jian said.

“See you in the village.” Ye Jun’s eyes flickered, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

The car started up and the five cars turned into the small road leading to the village one after another, quickly disappearing from sight.

“Five cars? Then there are five ghost tamers. They really have a lot of money. They all have luxury cars. It seems that they have enjoyed themselves during the time they became ghost tamers… But in my opinion, they are all cannon fodder. The more people there are, the better. I’m just afraid that there won’t be enough people to solve this supernatural event.” Yang Jian’s eyes carried a hint of eerie indifference.

After taking something, he closed the tailgate and said, “Jiang Yan, let’s go.”

The car turned around and Jiang Yan sat in the driver’s seat, looking at Yang Jian with a somewhat heavy expression. “You won’t really be in trouble, will you?”

“No one can guarantee their safety in the face of a fierce ghost. I’m no exception.” Yang Jian picked up his things and prepared to leave.

“You shouldn’t have any problems. I believe in you.” Jiang Yan said.

“You believe in me? I don’t even have confidence in myself.” Yang Jian waved his hand. “I’m leaving.”

He didn’t stay long, nor was it a farewell.

He carried his things and walked along the path towards Huanggang Village.

Not long after he left, Jiang Yan drove away from there without choosing to stay for a long time.

After all, this place… was haunted.”Is there really a ghost here? It looks quite normal.” Yang Jian frowned as he walked along the path.

There were vegetable fields and farmland along the way.

Judging by the growth, it seemed that someone had been tending to them regularly.

On the road, there were chickens raised by some unknown household roaming around in groups. The houses didn’t look dilapidated or desolate at all.

All these signs indicated that this was a very normal rural village.

It was just a bit quiet.

But that was also normal, as most rural villages were inhabited by the elderly and children, with young people going out to work.

Meanwhile, in the village.

Five luxury cars were parked by the roadside.

Five or six people got out of the cars and stood together, curiously looking at the village.

“Does this place look like a haunted village? I don’t think so.” Zhang Han said with a puzzled expression, “There’s no terrifying atmosphere at all. It feels more like we’re here for a vacation.”

“The information provided by Sun Li Hong states that there are ghosts here, so it must be abnormal. Not all ghosts go around killing people. Some are relatively well-behaved, and their impact is not significant… Usually, such ghosts are classified as low-level and are not within the scope of being dealt with.” Ye Jun explained.

Another person added, “The degree of harm does not equal the degree of terror. Since the information says that there are supernatural events here, there must be ghosts in this village.”

“There’s no benefit in deceiving us to come here. If you’re scared, it’s not too late to leave now.”

“We agreed earlier that we would work together to solve this supernatural event and then negotiate with Sun Li Hong. I don’t have much time left, and I don’t want to keep waiting for death.”

The group of people discussed with each other, exchanging opinions.

Since they had made up their minds to come, they had no intention of backing down.
